Ocean's POV

I barely slept last night. I Kept going over everything that happened. As hurt as I am about what Michael did, my heart broke when that woman turned up at our house like that. I know my parents hate me but to call protective services and try and have my child taken away is something I can never forgive them for. Up until last night there was still a part of me deep down that actually missed my family and want to be close to them again. My thoughts are broken when Michael comes into the bedroom.

"How you feeling?" he smiles softly sitting beside me and I smile slightly through pursed lips. "Where's DJ?"

"He's downstairs LaToya. She said she watch him while I took you to the doctors"

I he looks at the ground guiltily "I um...I told her you just had a stomach virus" he mumbles "Michael, I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor" he shakes his head at me "It's fine I got you a private doctor if that's what your worried about?" I roll my eyes sarcastically "Well I figured you didn't make an appointment for me to see my dad about it. But like I said I'm fine now I've a bath" he sighs and cups my face in his hands "baby, I just wanna make sure your ok and that I haven't...you know..done any damage down there"

"You have a serious ego problem" I giggle slightly and he frowns shaking his head "no, it's a fact you've seen It yourself, it's a good 12 inches down there, which is actually bigger than most...look it up if you don't believe me" he shrugs confidently. "Did you seriously measure your dick so you can compare it with other guys?" I frown confused. "Yes I did!...and mine was always biggest!" He smiles proudly making me giggle slightly.

I sigh taking his hands in mine "I really don't wanna see a doctor. I just wanna forget all about last night" he looks away guiltily "I do too but...you were in a lot of pain last night and..."

"And I'm fine now" I cut him off. "Are you sure your really ok?" I smile through pursed lips and nod "Ok" he sighs in defeat.

Michael's POV

I'm still not happy about Ocean not wanting to get checked over by the doctor, but she's assured me that's she's fine over and over. So in the end I just gave in and She doesn't look like she's in any kind of pain anymore since she had her bath. I still called in sick at work though so I can spend some time with her and DJ and help her out around the house and with cooking and stuff. Ocean kept saying I didn't have to but I really wanna make things up to her and spend more time with her. When I spoke to Jack I told him I won't be in work the rest of the week and said I had a virus. I'm surprised he didn't flip out or threaten to fire me especially after last time I 'called in sick' but he was actually really cool about it.

Since LaToya had already agreed to babysit. Ocean and I went out for the day just the two of us. We didn't do anything special we had lunch and went into a few stores but it was really relaxing and Ocean seems in a much happier mood.

We get home and as soon as we close the door LaToya shushes us walking downstairs "He's sleeping" she whispers "Thanks for watching him" Ocean smiles and LaToya nods covering her mouth "it's fine. What did the doctor say?" She nervously asks keeping a little distance between her and Ocean "she's not contagious" I chuckle "oh thank god!" She sighs in relief  "THAT BITCH!!" Ocean snaps and we turn confused and she's not in the room any more "I'LL FUCKING KILL HER!!" we hear her again this time at the front door. It slams closed and I quickly run after her.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!!? YOU SICK FUCKING BITCH!!!" Ocean screams at Jessica and I grab her by the arm pulling her away "Stop! She's not worth it" I snap having to physically drag Ocean away. "C'mon, sweetie lets just go back inside and calm down ok?" LaToya says softly walking back into the house with her. "They should have taken that poor kid away while they had the chance" Jessica snaps and I frown storming over "so it was you! I fucking knew it!" I snap "your not fit to be parents. Your gonna ruin that kid just like you ruined my daughter" she snaps back at me "because that what your kind always does" she hisses. I'm about to say something but LaToya shouts me "Michael, please come inside she's not worth it" I turn away from Jessica and head back inside.

I get back in the house and Ocean is upstairs getting changed "where are you going?" I frown   Confused coming into the room "I have my therapy session in and hour...don't you want me to go?" I sigh laying down on the bed "it's fine...I just forgot that was tonight"

"I shouldn't have flipped out at her should I?" She mumbles sitting on the edge of the bed. I sit up and move closer to her "she called protective services and tried to get DJ taken away, you had every right to be mad" I frown "she kept saying it wasn't her"

"Well she told me after you went inside she did and she said we weren't fit to be parents" she starts getting upset and I pull her in close to me "what else did she say?"

"That's it...She didn't say anything else" I lie. As pissed as I am about the 'your kind' always does' comment, Ocean's upset enough already.

Ocean's POV

Therapy session:

"what was the argument about that got Michael so angry to begin with?" Sophia asks me when I tell her about the argument with my mother and Michael getting arrested "it was about my aunt Sherri she keeps making up stories trying to break us up"

"What did she say exactly?"

"That Michael told my family I never wanna see them again. But he didn't he knew how much I wanted to reconnect with them"

"And that's the only thing you were arguing about?" She looks at me skeptically "yes. That's it" I lie I know Sophia isn't allowed to talk about what I tell her but I really don't want anybody finding out about the Coke especially Joseph. "And when he yelled at my mother I locked him out. I know I shouldn't have,  but their was no need for her to call the police on him"

"he was trying to kick down the door and was threatening you. You don't think that was a cause for her to worry?"

"He was banging on the door" I sigh rolling my eyes "and that's no reason for her to call protective services on us! She even admitted it and said Michael and I aren't fit to be parents"

"What was Michael like after he was released from the jail?"

"He was fine" I shrug and she looks at me skeptically "he hurt you again?" She asks softly. I don't say anything for a moment then take a deep breath out "he didn't mean to. He was just trying make up with me because he yelled at me earlier"

"And what was he like after?"

"He didn't say anything on the way home, he just cried and when we got home he kept telling me how sorry he was"

"And is that why you allow him to keep doing it because he cries and tells you he's sorry after?" I shake my head "he doesn't cry and say sorry so I stay with him. He cries because he feels guilty for hurting me. He was just trying to show me he loves me he wasn't trying to hurt me"

"Did he tell you that?"

"I was pushing him away. If I'd just relaxed then it wouldn't have hurt. When I'm relaxed and we have sex it doesn't hurt that's all he was trying to tell me"

"Do you ever talk to your friends sex?" I shake my head not really just Michael and I kinda spoke to my mother once though"

"Kind of?" She tilts her head curiously "yeah when me and Michael lost are virginities to each other. It was the next day"

"And that was the first time he ...in your words 'hurt you'?"

"Well he kinda of did but he was just really nervous because it was his first time to. And it stopped hurting once I relaxed"

"And what did your mother say when you told her what he'd done?"

"Well I didn't actually tell her what we My dad didn't know I was home that day and I accidentally walked in and he was..you know?...doing what Michael had done to me" I scrunch my face not wanting going into detail "and my mother explain everything to me. And told me that when to people love each other sometimes they have to show them physically"

"Your mother told you this? She frowns confused and I nod "have you ever saw your father hurt your mother or be violent with your mother"

"Sometimes....I've seen him do both and I know how much dad loves my mother"

"What about your friends at school? Do you ever talk to them about these things?"

"I dropped out awhile ago to stay at home with DJ so I don't really talk to them much these days" I shrug "do you have any other friends? Do they know about this?"

"I have LaToya and Randy but we don't talk about this stuff. Michael's their brother and don't think I'd feel comfortable talking to them about our sex life.

"So you don't have anybody other than Michael and his family?"

"We're married Michael's family is my family too."

"What was you relationship like with your parents before you met Michael?"

When I get home from my session the house is quiet so I tip toe up stairs to my room so I don't wake anyone.

I get towards the bed and smiles softly watching how adorable DJ and Michael look sleeping. I quietly go over to the dresser and change into some PJs "your back" Michael whispers sleepily "I didn't mean to wake you" I whisper back climbing into bed next to DJ and Michael is on the other side of him "how was is?" He yawns "it was good"

"What did you talk about?" He mumbles "your tired we can talk in the morning if you want" he opens his eyes not even a quarter "I'm not tired" I start telling him about what Sophia said about me not having any friends "you have lots of friends...LaToya, Randy...Marlon...me...I'm your friend as well as ..." he yawns trying to keep his eyes open  "your lover"

"That's why told her and..." I pause and laugh slightly under my breath "why'd you stop talking?" He mumbles unable to keep his eyes open "because your tired"

"I still wanna...hear you" I continue telling him even though I know he's fallen back to sleep "and I told her about us and how before I met you I was always scared of messing up or letting people down and about how I used to cry myself to sleep every night because I knew no matter what I did my parents were never gonna be proud of me or love me for who I am. They only loved me for who they believe I can/should be. And you were never like that. You loved me for just being me. And from the moment you walked over to me when I first got here I know at that moment you were gonna be a huge part in my life and I loved you. It was like this Instant feeling of love. You hadn't even said a word and I was already crazy about you" I laugh slightly under my breath to myself laying down "I felt it too and I still do" Michael faintly whispers.
